I’m a first-generation American, born in San Francisco, CA, to parents who migrated from the Philippines. As the youngest of eight children, I’ve often been called a 'miracle child' due to a life-threatening experience at age two. Growing up, faith played a central role in our family, and God continues to be a guiding force in my life.
As a young girl, I attended private school for twelve years and was extremely outgoing and competitive in many sports. Shifting gears to adulthood, I have spent many years managing office operations and providing executive-level support.
Over the last thirteen years, I successfully ran a bowling center in Columbus, Ohio, where I oversaw diverse aspects of the business and handled numerous responsibilities.
My personal life is a source of immense joy, especially in raising three incredible adult children. My youngest daughter has further blessed me with a wonderfully talented granddaughter.
I remain very active and full of energy, grateful for each day. I live life to the fullest and never take it for granted. I love the challenge of creating something out of nothing, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing the smiles my creations bring.
Life is truly a gift!

World Wide Water: Ensuring Clean Water for All
World Wide Water: Ensuring Clean Water for All
Water is life. Yet, shockingly, more than 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and 4.5 billion live without adequate sanitation. While some of us take clean water for granted, for others, it’s a daily struggle—one that affects health, education, and economic opportunity. At Global Won, we believe clean water is a fundamental human right, and we are actively working on sustainable solutions to make it accessible for all.
Beyond the Faucet: The Global Water Crisis
Lack of clean water leads to disease, food insecurity, and economic hardship. Women and children in many communities walk miles each day to collect water, often from contaminated sources. Without proper sanitation, illnesses spread rapidly, affecting schools, workplaces, and entire communities.
Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Access
Global Won collaborates with engineers, water conservationists, and local communities to implement clean water initiatives. From drilling wells and building water filtration systems to supporting rainwater harvesting and wastewater treatment innovations, we focus on long-term, eco-friendly solutions.
A Collective Responsibility
Water scarcity is a global issue that requires a collective response. We advocate for responsible water usage, education on conservation, and partnerships with organizations committed to solving this crisis.
Clean water changes everything—health improves, education flourishes, and communities thrive. Join Global Won in making sure every person, everywhere, has access to this most basic necessity.
